Fire insurance plans were produced by Chas. E. Goad & Co. between 1875 and 1923 but they have been updated from that time until 1974. They are an invaluable resource for homeowners, environmental assessors, city planners and architectural historians. Copyright regulation of all Fire Insurance Plans is stringent. Any duplication or publication in any form is the responsibility of the researcher and must be cleared through CGI Environmental Services in Markham, Ontario. Fire Insurance Plans show:
- streets, lots, and buildings
- size, shape, construction materials, location on lot, height, and street addresses of buildings
- location of out-buildings, factory smoke stacks, piles of lumber and other industrial materials
